My Love Affair with Stew Leonard’s Wine Shop – Danbury

I’m going to let you all in on a little secret….I have found wine heaven. And you’re all invited! We were taking a leisurely Sunday drive through Fairfield County a few months ago and we stumbled upon this little piece of happiness. I came to find out that the store was recently renovated and it is straight up gorgeous. Bright lights, big signs, and one very impressive cork cow. Yes, you read that correctly.

Now, I am no wine expert. In fact, I often make my wine selection by how much I like the label. Any label with polka dots almost ensures that the bottle its pasted to will be coming home with me. Fortunately, the staff were very knowledgable and the manager even offered to special order a bottle of bourbon for a bourbon/whiskey fiend friend of ours.

The best part about Stew’s Wine in Danbury is that they do free tastings every day from 12-7pm and specialty tastings on weekends! I am, of course, now on their mailing list, so see below for a list of their tastings this weekend.
